- What if my bill has someone else's name on it, what should I do?
First make sure it is your bill, i.e. check the permanent parcel number. If it's not your bill, most likely there has been a recent ownership change and the taxpayer information hasn't been updated. If this is the case, you may pay on the bill you received. Please note it is the taxpayer's responsibility to pay the taxes by the due date.

- What if I can't pay my bill when it's due?
Partial payments are permitted. Taxpayers may, at any time after the taxes are levied and prior to March 1st of the next succeeding year, make partial payments. All payments that are not paid in full by March 1st will go to Washtenaw County as delinquent.

- What are the penalties for late payments for both real estate taxes and personal property taxes?
Summer taxes: A 1% interest is added on the unpaid principal starting on September 15th. An additional 1% is added on the 1st of each month until taxes are paid in full.

Unpaid real estate taxes are turned over to the Washtenaw County Treasurer as of March 1st.
Winter taxes: A 3% penalty and a 1% interest fee is added on the unpaid principal starting February 15th through February 28th. Unpaid real property taxes are turned over to the Washtenaw County Treasurer on March 1st as delinquent.

- What is the difference between real and personal property taxes?
Real property is property which is attached such as land and buildings. Real property taxes are assessed on either commercial/industrial or residential property.
Personal property is any property that isn't real property i.e. fixtures, furnishings, and equipment. Personal property taxes are assessed only on property that is used in a business.
